Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

4 whole wheat pita pockets

1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup shredded lettuce

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small crumbles. Cook the turkey for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and fully cooked through.

    Season the Meat: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the turkey with the spices. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to enhance the flavors, then remove the skillet from heat. Set the turkey mixture aside to cool slightly.

      Prep the Pitas: While the turkey is cooking, slice each whole wheat pita pocket in half to create two pockets from each pita. If you'd like a warm texture, place the pita halves in a toaster or on a heated pan for about 1-2 minutes until slightly warmed.

        Assembly: To assemble the pita pockets, take one half of a pita and spread approximately 2 tablespoons of hummus inside. Generously fill the pocket with the cooked turkey mixture. Top it off with a handful of diced cucumber, cherry tomato halves, shredded lettuce, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if desired.

          Garnish: For a fresh touch, sprinkle chopped parsley over the filled pita pockets. This adds both flavor and a pop of color, enhancing the overall presentation.

            Serve: Arrange the mini turkey pita pockets on a serving platter for a beautiful display. Serve with additional hummus on the side for dipping. These pockets can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for any occasion.
